Coyote

Canis latrans

The fluffy gray and tan coat of a coyote will frequently make the animal seem larger than they are and so can be mistaken for wolves. Coyotes have a pointy nose and larger ears than a wolf and typically carry their tail down. To learn about other distinguishing marks between these canines, check out the website at the California Wolf Center.

Coyotes live and hunt throughout the Bison Range and are most seen early morning or late evening. Listen for their high pitched, yapping calls.
